Eileen Collins was an aviation pioneer her entire career, from her crowning achivements as the first woman to pilot the space shuttle and the first to command an American space mission to her early years as one of the Air Force's first female pilots. She was only the second woman pilot admitted to the Air Force's elite Test Pilot Program at Edwards Air Force Base. NASA had such confidence in her skills as a leader that she was entrusted to command the first shuttle mission after the Columbia disaster, returning the US to spaceflight after a two-year hiatus. Eileen Collins is among the most recognised and admired women in the world, yet this is the first time she has told her story in a book. It is a story not only of achievement and overcoming obstacles but of profound personal transformation. The shy, quiet child of an alcoholic father and struggling single mother, she grew up in modest circumstances and was an unremarkable student. When she graduated from high school, she had few prospects, but she changed her life to pursue her secret dream of becoming an astronaut. She shares her leadership and life lessons throughout the book with the aim of inspiring and passing on her legacy to a new generation.
